In response to Deb's message, I have a similar situation.  Even
though I have a snack (a half-meal really, consisting of some protein
and carbohydrates) between meals, I feel exceptionally tired between
about 3:30 and dinnertime.  My blood sugar fluctuates, and is usually
low between meals unless I "graze" throughout the day.  But this time
of the day I am particularly tired.
 
But I would like to know why, because I don't remember having this
problem before I went gluten-free.
 
I'd love to hear what you find out Deb!
Jo-Anne :)
